Nah. Liked the first two, then it just fell off for me and didn’t find anything substantial the rest of the album. 2/5
One of my favorite metal albums and my favorite Metallica albums. A little repetitive towards the end, but enough songs stood out to make up for it. 4/5
I get the appeal and like the playing, but the 80s disjointed singing ruined it for me. 2/5
Loved this album since the first time I heard it. Needed a little more grunge. 4/5
Never been a fan of Elvis. Not impressed. Songs were just A-OK. 2/5
I completely understand and am totally alright with why Cult of Personality is the only song I’ve heard off this album. Good, not great. 3/5
Love jazz samba. Wasn’t blown away by anything, but definitely enjoyed it. 3/5
Got this album the day after the queen died. Cool. Hated the album though. 2/5
Enjoyable. Nothing here blew me away, but I’ll probably listen to it again. 3/5
Nah. Liked the first two, then it just fell off for me and didn’t find anything substantial the rest of the album. 2/5
Liked it. Early punk without taking much from other artists of the time, but forming their own sound. 4/5
Great instrumentation and voice. Writing and arrangements were also phenomenal and original. It’s difficult to believe she didn’t become more popular. 4/5
Not that I don't think this album isn't good by a technical standpoint or in the eyes of other people, but this album has everything that I am just not interested in. The half-present instruments and clunky rhythm makes it impossible for me to get into the music. Relieved when the last song ended honestly. Could have been worse, though so. 2/5
I like his simple country-folk music style and enjoyed the album, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. A very average album, in my opinion. 3/5
A great album. Inventive and original. I don’t like John Lennon personally, but I recognize that this is a great album. 4/5
Cool it with the reverb effect and I think you’d have a pretty solid album. 4/5
These are iconic songs with great production, themes, writing, and execution. Near entirely perfect album. 5/5
Original for its time, and very thought provoking. Doesn’t hold up to todays standards and not an album one can just throw on. 3/5
Maybe some people like this album, but I genuinely did not enjoy a single track. Lackluster vocals and subpar instrumentation. 2/5
Possibly the best ballad album of all time. Iconic and timelessly fun songs. Some parts were a little overdone, but for the most part, a very solid album. 4/5
A very impressive garage band, but surprising they got a record deal and I’m even more surprised this album is on the list. Fun to listen to if you’re looking for some blues-rock to play in the background, but thousands of albums would need to disappear before it would come close to greatest albums territory. 2/5
I like the Hives and all of these songs. They were fun and I enjoyed listening, but they wasn’t anything inspiring about it. A very alright collection, and since it’s a collection and not an album, it doesn’t qualify at all for me. 1/5
I like the hardcore punk-rock ballads. The song writing, instrumentation, and structure were fantastic. I enjoyed these songs, but they weren’t all that memorable or catchy in the long run. 4/5
The White Stripes do a good job of building on their rock inspiration and previous work without just copying. They found ways to still create original sounds in a dying genre. Very enjoyable and fun to listen to. 4/5
One of the most well produced, best written, enjoyable albums ever. 5/5
Not a fan of the goat voice.Everything was very average for an 80s rock band. 2/5
Beautiful album. Can't think of a thing wrong with it. 5/5
One of the most forgettable albums I've ever heard in my life. I honestly believe that this is as creative and exciting this band can get, which just isn't that great. It wasn't painful to listen to, I just couldn't remember a single track off of it to save my life. 2/5
That’s some pretty good pop music. Although every song sounds very similar. 3/5
Alright, nothing great, nothing bad. 3/5
Found the whole album to be pretty bland and repetitive. It makes good background music. All in all, pretty forgettable. 2/5
Sort of unbearably pretentious if that makes any sense? Can definitely see that it would have an audience, but that audience is not me. 2/5
Groovy stuff, funky rhythms, and surprisingly inventive melodies. Feel like it earned it's. 4/5
Not that it was a reinvention of British post punk, but I thought it was pretty good for the genre. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 4/5
I feel like this is exactly what they were going for. They didn’t miss on one track. Perfect. 5/5
Enjoyed the album. Wasn’t the best jazz record I’ve heard, but there wasn’t anything wrong with it really. Pretty in the middle. 3/5
Love Nina. Love the album. Did not miss. Experimental. Moving in a new direction both lyrically and musically. 4/5
I think Sonic Youth does a good job of establishing their sound on this album. They’re really feeling themselves on this one. Not their biggest fan personally, and the later songs sort of fell off in my opinion, but definitely see what they were going for. 3/5
Very ambitious for the young pedophile. 4/5
Never new what was going to come next. A beautiful, original album. 4/5
I can’t understand why Marley is the only reggae I’ve heard when there are bands like this out. 4/5
A funky and original album that was very enjoyable to listen to. 4/5
I thought he made a very niche genre of music sound more accessible to a wider audience without straying too far from who he is. The album didn't excite more or anything, I just thought it was neat and respect it. 3/5
Nothing impressive here, just a nice little jazzy album that I had fun listening to. 3/5
This album makes it clear that Paul Simon was still able to create original and interesting music that was also enjoyable to listen to. 4/5
I don't think this is The Who's best work, but it certainly isn't their worst. I think it was a very ambitious idea that didn't pan out 100% like they'd hoped. Some of the songs on their own are great, but the majority could only be listened to when listening to the album as a whole. Commercial jingles can get on your nerves at a point. 3/5
This album is full of unoriginal 80s pop music, but it was made in the 90s. Music wasn’t necessarily bad, just not my type and nothing new. 3/5
I am not interested in mainly instrumental music, but this was good. 4/5
He does a good job of combining different genres to make an overall enjoyable and fun album that is rewarding to listen to. 4/5
Blended country and psychedelic 60s sounds together pretty well. Not a whole lot of variety, but nothing was outright bad
It’s all over the place and does not focus itself into anything entertaining or inspiring. Had potentially, but execution ended up being boring. 2/5
This isn’t my favorite Miles album and I don’t think it’s his best work, but I respect it for being very experimental. He tried new things on this album instead of playing it safe like he had on the previous couple albums and it payed off with Bitches Brew and On the Corner. Not my favorite, but still incredible. 4/5
Sounds like a bunch of people who knew nothing about music were forced to make an album together. Not completely hot garbage, but pretty damn close. 2/5
The opening track is the strongest point of the album, but that isn't to say the rest of the album is bad. Just average and nothing new. Enjoyed it as an introduction to Steve Winwood. Interested to listen to his other work, but definitely not excited. 3/5
Inventive chord progressions and Mr. McLean does a wonderful job of putting less is more into song. Starting the album with American Pie was a mistake, in my opinion, because there was nowhere to go but down from there. Not to say the rest of the songs were bad, just that they leave you wanting more of what you know Don could make. 4/5
I don't like live albums and I don't like bad albums so this album checked no boxes for me. 1/5
One of the best soul albums, if not the best of all time. Everything blends together so well. It’s incredible. 4/5
They all sort of fade together after a while and become indistinguishable. More like one long song than 11 individual and unique ones. I enjoyed it for the most part. A little innovative, but not mind blowing. 3/5
Sorta avant-garde jazz rock. Lots of the songs were fun to listen to and stood out from one another without being conventionally structured. Not an album you’d put on often, but definitely one should give a listen. 4/5
This album reminds me of an old sweater that’s falling apart. Barely held together by a couple loose strings. None of the musicians sound like they’re really into it which is a shame considering the lyrics, chord progressions, and structuring all sound like they’d be great if they were played tighter. Poor execution, but great theory. Makes me sad to think that they were so close to such an incredible album. 4/5
Hauntingly beautiful bluesgrass. I wish I could give it four stars, but there just really isn't enough there to justify me doing so. Lovely sounding, but lacks anything new or out there. 3/5
An introspective and interesting, not his best work, but I enjoyed it. 3/5
Boring synth, nothing new, not interested. 2/5
This album is a great example of his superior creativity to the rest of his former band mates. He has incredibly original chord changes and song structures that make it impossible to guess what is coming next, without ever letting you down. Very sad that we couldn't see him develop more as an artist. I think he was only scratching the surface of what he had to offer. 4/5
One of the best mixes of post punk and self expression there is. Blondie delivers. 4/5
Was just waiting for the album to end. Couldn’t really enjoy or get into a single track. The whole thing felt offbeat and disjointed. The lyrics were subpar and even the beats became repetitive by the halfway point. Probably good for it’s time in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, but does not hold up. 2/5
Enjoyed the album, but was pretty much just waiting for something to happen. All the songs blended together after a while. Good, but nothing special. 3/5
Not a fan of live albums, but this is so good and energetic, also I love B.B. so much that I can’t give it a bad score. One of the best live albums I’ve ever heard. 4/5
Not really that good for live Dylan. Poor quality for any live album, which I’m already not a fan of. Love Dylan and all the studio versions of these songs, but personally found this album a chore to get through as it took me all day. 1/5
Springsteen is rough while also being vulnerable. An album that undeniably feels alive. Every aspect of every song works. 4/5
It sounds like they didn’t knew who their audience was or who they were making the album for. Musically, most of the songs are pretty strong, but they fall short lyrically; at least for me. I appreciate the sentiment in the words, although the Beach Boys were not equipped to write deep songs. Also, if you’re short on time for your album, it’s better to not write anymore songs than to include a song like Student Demonstration Time. Who was that for? 3/5
I thoroughly enjoyed this album and believe it has a lot of range, especially when comparing the first and second halves. Always surprised by his ability to mix folk and rock so seamlessly. 4/5
Well, this stunk. Completely forgettable at best and downright annoying at worst. Tough to get through. The 22 minute opening track fails to justify it’s length while the remaining songs are just electronic garbage. 1/5
Very melancholic, perhaps too melancholy. Almost plagiaristic-ally Bob Dylan. They even mention him by name. Not to say I didn’t like the album, I enjoyed every song excluding the final track. 3/5
I can certainly see how this album is not for everyone, but I can’t express enough how much I respect them for being unapologetically themselves. Such a strong and specific vibe that I’ve not heard replicated before or since. Shame this isn’t more well known. 4/5
I am so tired of getting live albums. The artist is able to choose from their best songs so obviously all the songs will be classics. On the other hand, the quality is always worse than the original and rarely feels more energetic. This live album is no different. There is absolutely no reason this album should be even considered for this list. The fact that it was included shakes my faith in this entire concept and has me questioning if I should even continue using this generator. Seriously, what classic rock-biased mf made this list? Love Deep Purple though, just bad score on the principal. 1/5
One of the best rap albums I've ever heard. Mr. Killah is a powerhouse and absolutely relentless. Every track was enjoyable. He did not miss. 4/5
Loved this album, enjoyed it very much. Nothing here incredibly original, but it’s nice. 3/5
Thoroughly enjoyable. It’s pretty original, but I can see why I’ve never heard of them. 3/5
Very introspective and calm. Enjoyed it throughly. I don’t know what introspective means. 3/5
You can’t tell me this didn’t bop. Didn’t understand most of what ahe said. Loved it. 4/5
Very surprised I haven’t heard this before. Incredible and aggressive. 4/5
This is some of the best background music I’ve ever heard. Montage music. I’ll master the art of cooking to this album. I ain’t gonna listen to it just for kicks though. 3/5
Had some range to it. Not too out there. Didn’t excite me or anything, but I enjoyed listening. 3/5
Simply put, it is elegant, it is graceful, it is enjoyable for the most part. Didn’t like The Night I Heard Caruso, but everything else was great. 4/5
The most versatile rap album i’ve ever heard. Most listeners should be able to find at least one song they can enjoy. I liked them all. 4/5
I could go on and on about all the reasons I dislike this album, but I’ve spent too long listening to it already and I just don’t want to think about it anymore. Hate live albums. 1/5
One of, if not the best, concept albums of all time. Every song on this album serves a purpose and the holds the album together cohesively. They were able to make both hard and songs without it seeming forced. All the sound effects give it the right amount of paranoia and anger the protagonist feels. I'm not sure if what I'm saying makes sense, but I get it. I get this album. Loved it. 5/5
I was very surprised when I not only didn’t hate this album, but actually enjoyed most of it. I think Limp Bizkit gets a bad rap for some reason. How they present themselves? Wasn’t the best metal I’ve ever heard, but it isn’t the worst. Just respectable music for the most part, though some of the lyrics can be a tad corny at times. 3/5
This is one of the best debut albums there are. They did a tremendous job of immediately setting themselves apart from the rest of the rock scene at the time. Even though it's their first album together, all band members played in perfect harmony with one another; allowing each other to shine in their respective areas of musical expertise. While they are known for being a heavier band, they deliver beautiful soft songs that let you know they have range and talent. I love this album and it always leaves me wanting more. 5/5
Not my type of music whatsoever. Understand that it had it’s following and time and place and all that, but it’s really no good in my opinion. 2/5
Completely understand why some listeners might not enjoy this. I sorta get it, enjoyed some, but not others. 3/5
Something to put on while focusing on something else. Nothing exciting, but nothing bad, really. Could listen to it again, although I probably won’t. 3/5
Entertaining, not in the way that I’d listen to it very often, but that I enjoyed it listening the first time through. Definitely memorable, sometimes in a good way, sometimes not so much. They made the album they wanted to make and it came out probably exactly the way they liked. Wasn’t completely for me, but I liked some of it. 3/5
Not saying you can't have a good jazz album solely made up of covers of songs, but it certainly would be difficult. A good cover respects the original while also adding the covering artists signature flair to the song. These covers don't sound like their originals so she has that going for her. Where she falls short is that the flair she adds isn't really enough. It wasn't enough to interest me very much. Like a boring James Bond intro song. Technically good and it's not unbearable, but I'm going to choose not to bear it in the future. 3/5
This is a fun album to listen to, but not as memorable as similar albums of the time. The songs blend together after getting only a little bit into the album. They failed to create something as inspiring as their contemporaries, like the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Damned, created time and time again. I'd listen to them again, but not for inspiration. 3/5
This may be the best these guys have to offer as a group. Separately, they performed better and created more inspiring work, but this album lacks originality and feels as though members are holding each other back. An enjoyable album. Nothing really bad to say, but nothing really good either. 3/5
Her talent shines brighter when she does jazzier songs than the honky tonk country that had been dead for decades at that point. It was entertaining and I’ll listen to some of the songs again, but there was not much original here. This seemed like and album for the sake of making an album. Easy listening, but that’s all. 3/5
Never was a fan of this 80s melodramatic sound. I can sort of get behind the instrumentation, but the singing is so needlessly dramatic that I can't take it seriously. It might just be the singer's voice, but this band never tickled my fancy. I completely understand where others may see the beauty in this album though. 3/5
So many hits on one album, contender for best debut album of all time. Every member of this band is exercising top talent. Can’t think of a thing wrong with it. It’s just so good. 5/5
I’m sure that this album was very impactful in the genre and inspirational for its time, however, I can’t get into for one reason or another. Some songs feature the sample too heavily, some songs Missy’s rap game is just not that great, and some were just straight up annoying. Whatever it was, I found myself consistently checking how many songs were left. I like her voice and thought the entire album was produced very well, but not enough to save it. 3/5
I think the opening track summarizes the entire album with Take it Easy. Such a carefree ideology may make one think that the songs lack a seriousness or respect for the art. An understandable concern, but Eagles do an incredible job of creating one of the most easy listening albums of all time while also having the songs be listenable. Even the harder rocking songs had a breezy, relaxed aspect to them that was crafted to perfection. There were some pitfalls, though, as some later tracks were just sort of forgettable if it had not been for the couple classic songs that hold this album together. A great free feeling to this album, but not all songs are worth listening to more than a few times. 4/5
Completely unbearable. Found it incredibly difficult to finish. I don’t like purely instrumental music and this album is a wonderful example why. 2/5
The Jam is a very underrated punk band for numerous arbitrary reasons. They’re a great band, but ultimately, not what the world was looking for at the time. Not quite as hard rocking as their contemporaries, but not soft enough to escape the punk genre. They should be much more widely known, but alas, that’s entertainment. 4/5
Got pretty boring, the songs aren’t good enough to justify the runtime. Some songs were weird, but they still managed to blend together considering the number of songs there are. Nothing really bad to say here, just not impressed. 3/5
This album calms my anxieties faster than I thought possible. I don't know about anything technically incredible this album does, but the vibe is just incredible and that has to be worth something. Enjoyed the whole thing very much, except that the last track was split in two. 4/5
Every track on this album surprised me with it's originality. Some songs were incredibly ahead of their time while some sounded like they could have been written centuries ago and some were perfect for the time they were written. They all worked marvelously and I enjoyed every single one of them. I understand, however, why the album and artist are not as well known. There weren't any songs on the album that really got me excited. They were fun to listen to, but I don't reckon I'll be very eager to go back for a second listen, although I probably will eventually. 4/5
Louis Prima has such an electric charm to him that makes it impossible for me not to get into his music. The songs were original and didn’t blend together. Band played great other a well. Fun album, but nothing too deep. 4/5
Love it or hate it, this is an incredibly influential album both for it’s time and still today. Any song on this album can be thrown on at any time which makes it very versatile. The album itself isn’t making a very big statement as it’s the definition of garage band dad rock, but I found the whole thing entertaining and enjoyable. I liked it. 4/5
Fairly good classic rock with some jazzy aspects to it. Every member plays incredibly well on the album, but I'm still left feeling unexcited. I personally don't think Rush plays with much feeling, even if they are technically very talented. I wasn't quite checking my watch or anything, but I would probably change the station. Very meh. 3/5
Never really enjoyed the Talking Heads. Not quite my cup of tea, but I get the hype. None of these songs were bad necessarily, but I couldn’t get into them. Was just alright. 3/5
Every song is an absolute banger. Hit after hit. Man did not miss. Was genuinely surprised at how good this album was for both the songs I’d heard of and the one’s I hadn’t. Everything about the album is fantastic; the songwriting, instrumentation, singing, production, etc. It has a flowing feeling throughout the entire album that stays interesting. Also, just a fun, enjoyable album to listen to. Maybe another day I would have given it a 4, but it’s Christmas, so I’m feeling generous. 5/5
Generally only listen to this genre one twelfth of the year. The songs are solid and the production has a classic sound that feels timeless and nostalgic. I'm not sure if using multiple artists is cheating, but it sorta feels like cheating. There are a lot of hits on this album, even if people only listen to them in December. They all start to sound the same halfway through and then it's a bit of a chore to get through. 3/5
Every song on this album is great. The production, songwriting, structure, instrumentation were all fantastic. I’m always impressed with McCartneys continuous ability to create music that is relevant to the time it’s made. The A side of the album does seem to overshadow the second half a little, but the last two songs were able pull me back in. 4/5
Some of Johnny’s best work in years. All of the American Recording albums Cash did with Rick Rubin were fantastic and re-introduced the world to what Johnny Cash could do. Even with his voice shot of years on the road, he’s still able to deliver some of his most emotional vocal performances. He shouldn’t have tried Roberta Flack, though. 4/5
The wikipedia snippet about this album got me very excited to listen to it, as well as the fact that it's David Bowie, whom I've always been a fan of. I was disappointed however in how often I found myself forgetting I was listening to the album and my mind would go elsewhere. The music did little to pull me back in. They weren't inspiring, but they weren't bad. For Bowie, it wasn't that great, but for just another album on the list it was alright. Nothing special, but it certainly wasn't bad. Some songs were alright, but overall just sorta disappointingly boring. 3/5
A harder rock album than Neil would usually create. He does a good job and the album has a lot of range. Some tracks are fun to listen to and some fall short. I’ve never been a fan of live music, so that doesn’t help my opinion of the album. I’d like to give it a higher score, but I honestly don’t think it earned it. It’s sort of a forgettable album. 3/5
I was thoroughly surprised and satisfied that I enjoyed the album as much as I did. The second half of the album did slow way down and get pretty boring, though. Wasn’t a fan of the pan flute either, I don’t feel as though it fit into the rest of the song comfortably. Good music though some wasn’t for me. 4/5
Album has a lot of range from pop to experimental. They all worked well not only on their own, but also within the album. A fun and enjoyable album. 4/5
I respect artists who try experimental work, even if they don’t always pan out. How To Disappear Completely is without a doubt in my mind the best song on the album. This may sound pretentious, but the song knows what it is. It is a song with a purpose while I feel others on the album are unfinished jam sessions. The general idea and concept, I believe, they have down, but the final product was a little too bare. Overall, though, it is a great album and I enjoyed listening, but it could have been better. 4/5
She has an electrifying element to her sound that makes me enjoy all the songs. Just wish there was a little more variety throughout, but overall fantastic. 4/5
Pretty original and enjoyable l, though the singer’s shaky voice did get on my nerves at points, but that’s just preference. 4/5
Maybe if I was coked up, dancing to this album in a Amsterdam nightclub on New Years Eve 1999, I would’ve enjoyed it more, but I am stone cold soberly not enjoying myself. Found it annoying and a chore to get through. 2/5
I'm not sure if they're aware of how creepy they sound. The instrumentation is good. Pretty sure I won't be listening to it again, though. It's like it was almost good, but there's something off about the entire album. Something disjointed and unnerving (which they may be going for) that I don't enjoy. Maybe I just don't get it. Not terrible, but not for me. 3/5
A thoroughly enjoyable album to listen to. I get a little tired of the singers voice after listening to a couple of The Band's songs generally, but there's nothing else really wrong with the album. Not very exciting, but it's nice and fun. I'll probably listen to it again. 4/5
This album was, in my opinion, the perfect form of idea into execution. I don’t really think Me. Costello would change a thing about the album, so as far as production goes, it’s perfect in that sense. That doesn’t mean that I would change anything, though. There were too many cheesy love lyrics and Elvis’ singing was very corny at times. A perfect cheesy love album, but that’s not what I’m into. 3/5
What an unbearable waste of time. Live albums, just in their nature of being live, take so much away from the music whether it’s sound quality, energy, talent, whatever. I already am not the biggest fan of Cheap Trick, though I do like some of their songs. There’s no diversity to these tracks, each one is just like the last. I don’t want to go on too long about this album, though I could, because I’d rather just forget the whole thing (except I Want You to Want Me, that one hit for some reason). 1/5
Possibly a little early to be putting this album on a list like this, but as far as I’m concerned it fully deserves to be up here. Great concept album, a more modern take on traditional R&B ideas. Some places could be improved, such as production, but it’s overall a pretty fun album to listen to (not the interludes though, never like interludes). 3/5
This was a fairly solid album. Some of the experimental stuff droned on a little long, but it was an inspiration for many bands and has been cited numerous times as one of the most essential albums to begin the punk era. Personally, I enjoyed most of the tracks and will listen to some, not all, again. It was pretty enjoyable, but I don't think it really deserves to score that high. 3/5
This album is jangly and unsettling. Sometimes in a charming way and sometimes in an annoying way. The lyrics are uninteresting and give me nothing new. It certainly is not Costello's best work, but I've definitely heard worse. The whole thing gives me the vibe of 'yup, this certainly is an album'. Nothing extra, inspiring, or memorable about this whole project. No atrocious, heinous, or unforgivable acts have been committed either, but my feeling is that nothing has really been committed. A perfect example of a. 3/5
This album has so much going on and it all works so well. Every little sound effect adds positively to the record. Has a ton of range and is thoroughly enjoyable. Production, lyrics, instrumentation were all perfect and my only critique is that it isn’t that exciting. I believe it to be one of the rare times when an album is completely realized and executed exactly as the artist intended. 4/5
A fantastic album. GZA flow and lyrics are incredible. The beats are minimalistic, but at the same time perfect for GZAs style. Never been a fan of skits in albums, especially if they don’t really add to the album. Enjoyable, but perhaps got a little too repetitive. 4/5
Really think they should have ended with the title track instead of starting with it, though there isn't much else to complain about. Had good range with both fun, fast tracks as well as slower, more emotional ones. Didn't like the live track, never do, but was overall very enjoyable. 4/5
Obviously love and lack thereof are popular topics for artists to touch on in their music, but divorce is much less common. Not to say Marvin is the only musician to discuss divorce in their music, but it was never done so well or with such grace. My only complaint is that this album failed to excite me as much as his previous works. I enjoyed it for sure, but he could have put a little more into it. Everything else (writing, singing, instrumentation, structure, production, etc.) were all fantastic. 4/5
The Beatles first truly experimental album in their discography. They'd hinted in their early work they were capable of writing songs that weren't mainstream pop. Their decision to become solely a studio band opened possibilities they probably hadn't ever considered. Every song on this album is good, most are great, and some are undeniable classics. Production, writing, instrumentation, etc. are all beautiful. No complaints. 5/5
A breath of fresh air from all the American and British artists that have been crowding the list so far. Like a lot of Bollywood soundtracks of this era, this album has a fun feeling to it that I enjoyed even if the album didn't do anything too technically incredible. You'd never consider this album to be awe inspiring by any stretch of the imagination, but I liked it and it was fun to listen to. 3/5
This album doesn’t provide anything new. It’s very fun and “groovy”, but it has all been done before, sometimes by the same band, sometimes even just earlier in the album. 3/5
Possibly the most influential punk band there has ever been. All the songs sound the same with different lyrics, so as a standalone album it’s not incredible, but I enjoyed it very much anyway. 4/5
This album is so goddamn boring. I can’t really find anything wrong with it, but it’s so impossible to get into. Nothing at all to latch onto. 3/5
The main problem people seem to have with this album is the departure from the band’s previous sound and claim they sold out. Metallica’s intention was to reach a wider audience as they noticed their previous album was very niche. In that sense I have no problem with the change in musical direction. The songs are a little more pop driven, but that’s what they were going for, so I can’t fault them. The only fault I have with the album is from the production side. Every element (vocals, bass, drums, guitar) sounds great on their own, but altogether, don’t mesh as well. Everything else was great and I enjoyed the album very much. Not their best work, but by no means should anyone say that this is a bad album. 4/5
A wonderful album, but Depeche Mode never really was my vibe. Definitely respect the album even though I couldn’t get into it. 4/5
Genre bending is pretty neat. The album is more to listen to for bits of inspiration rather than to enjoy, though. 3/5
Some of these songs are a little hard to listen to, but delightful once you get into them. This album’s surely not for everyone, but I thought it was pretty fun. Obviously Paper Planes is great, but other songs like Boyz, Mango Pickle Down River, and Jimmy certainly don’t get enough recognition. Manor complaint was that it got very repetitive and had hardly any range. 3/5
Never trust an album with clowns on the cover. I think they have real talent and it shows through in some spots, but is ultimately covered up by their . . . need to be weird? 3/5
Beautiful album. Not much range, but the lyrics alone earn it my respect. 4/5
This a fantastic and fun album. Production, instrumentation, and so on were beautiful. Didn’t get as repetitive as I thought it would, but it’s still not incredibly exciting. 4/5
This album goes so unbelievably hard. Badass lyrics, beautiful instrumentation, great singing, production, structure, it’s all fantastic. I have no critiques, therefore I must give it a. 5/5
Not generally a Talking Heads guy. Not quite my vibe, but I can enjoy this album. Very original and in a good way, for the most part. Not much to dislike on this one, except for the range is a little low. 4/5
Not a big fan of Harvey, but I liked this album more than her other work. Did seem to be just a little noisy at parts, but it was cool. Not for me though. 3/5
